The Green Bottle Blue Tarantula, also known as the Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens, is a beautiful and highly sought-after species of tarantula native to the forests of northern Venezuela. This species is known for its striking and vivid colors, with a metallic blue-green carapace and bright orange hairs on its legs and abdomen. The Green Bottle Blue Tarantula is a medium-sized species, with females growing up to 5 inches and males being slightly smaller at around 4 inches. They are arboreal, meaning they live in trees and other high-up locations in the wild. In captivity, it is important to provide them with a tall and spacious enclosure with plenty of climbing opportunities. One interesting feature of the Green Bottle Blue Tarantula is their ability to spin intricate and colorful webs. They use their webs to create a safe retreat and to catch prey. This species is known to be an active hunter, preying on a variety of insects and small invertebrates.
